@NyTR0S96 ,

It wasn’t an installer option previously. There is a section in the online user manual about notepad replacement, which explains that Windows 11 doesn’t necessarily allow the old win10-and-earlier method. However, the next version of the manual will include this updated page, which has a workaround that has been tested by some users (and the developer) on Windows 11:

However, in Windows 11 it’s Notepad UWP version installed, you have to remove Notepad UWP to make the above instructions work.

To remove UWP version of Notepad, you have to launch powershell with admin privileges, then run the following command:

Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.WindowsNotepad* | Remove-AppxPackage

Thanks to all for good analysis and suggestions. I’ll take the route of removing the NppTextViz plugin and see how it goes. Appreciate the good support. Thanks!

@temp-temp It doesn’t seem directly possible, but the JsonTools plugin has a menu Open JSON Tree Viewer and then a button Query to CSV that produces at least some kind of table view.

FYI: It seems this issue has been fixed in slack finally:

@Terry-R I thought my question was pretty clear!
How Do You Add A KeyBoard Shortcut!

The link did not work yesterday, I just clicked it right now and it came right up. Thank you!

@Terry-R Thank you, so if highlighting was the real issue, the OP could uncheck Settings - Preferences - Highlighting - Matching - Match whole word only or probably even better, the OP could useSettings - Preferences - Highlighting - Matching - Use Find dialog settings. I think I’ll use this setting in the future.

@Ekopalypse ,
Noted. I haven’t used it, so of course, I had no idea, but I keep reading the positive reviews of it, so was unsure how far it goes. Thank you for explaining that aspect.

@SUMI-ACE

🤦

@PeterJones Thank you sir, I will do that before posting here next time.

Please help us for testing:

@Reza-Nezami said in How to hide line numbers?:

I really don’t understand why linenumber is on by default!

Because lots of users like it tha way. (It’s really useful for programming, which is a major use of Notepad++.)

This is a pain in the &% to find where the setting has been moved

Because looking through a few panels of settings is so horrible. Or, gasp, you could read the user manual that’s linked from the ? menu. If you go to the “Editing” section of the preferences in the user manual: go to the “preferences” page and Ctrl+F to find the word “Number”. A few hits down (currently the eighth hit); or, if you remembered that it used to be called “display line number”, you could search for that, the first answer would literally be the new location.

Anyone wants it can go find it and enable it

The same argument could be made that “anyone who doesn’t want it can go and find it and disable it” – with everything else in your argument being used identically for the opposite desire. The designer of Notepad++ made a choice years ago on that, and would need a compelling reason to change the default (especially because all the people who were used to years of Notepad++ having the line number on by default would be seriously put out by the line numbers not being on by default, and they would complain a lot louder than you)

And BTW, we’re all just fellow users of Notepad++ here, so yelling at us (and yes, on the internet, ALL CAPS and Exclamation! Points! is yelling) will do you no good. (Actually, yelling at the developers would do you no good, either. Because that’s an awful way to try to convince them to bend to your will.)

@Dean-Davis62 said in Install Problem:

but no place to accept it then it closes

I just tried the 8.4.8 installer (32bit) and after setting English (default since the laptop is set to english) I also get to the licence window which has “I agree” at the bottom to proceed.

So firstly, which language are using using to install with (maybe an issue with that language so I could attempt to use that setting). Also can you do a screen print of the licence window? You can copy it (use snipping tool if wish to minimize what is shown) and the paste directly into a post here. Also which version of Windows are you installing onto?

I might be late because this topic is old but i found something for me:

Open CMD, browse to:
“C:\Program Files\Notepad++\updater”

Run GUP -options
(GUP.EXE)

You will be prompted for Proxy Information. This will create a File called
“C:\Program Files\Notepad++\updater\gupOptions.xml”

It contains the proxy information as following.
<GUPOptions>
<Proxy>
<server>17.17.17.17</server>
<port>0</port>
</Proxy>
</GUPOptions>

Hope that helps some other IT Admins

I’m sure Linux users would love to have Notepad++, myself included.

@Robert-Rodriguez said in Change History and SQLinForm formatting:

turning Show Change History totally off. Is there a setting that I’ve missed

Consult the Change History FAQ.

I had the same issue on latest version today. Turned out I had to run Notepad++ in Admin mode to be allowed to save the files. I was using “Find and replace in files” - it kept saying it made all the replacements I expected except it didn’t. Restarting npp as Admin solved the problem.

I hope this will help others with the same problem.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

@Alan-Kilborn

How can get this “To store the info of styled tokens, the intuitive & efficient way is using offset/length.”?

@Alan-Kilborn Good to know, thanks.

Thanks @guy038, the solution seems to be working. I will try get this file processed by the engine.

@Alan-Kilborn ok. My bad. I am trying to edit the title with no luck. Using this forum for the 1st time. I’ll see and edit the title if it allows me.
